Nick's intro[]
Who invented the fried-chicken sandwich?
Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich
S. Truett Cathy, a devout Southern Baptist, who founded his restaurant chain based on the concept as the Dwarf Grill in the 1940s, is so confident in his claim that he made it the company's slogan. Others say it was a traditional Southern dish that Cathy merely popularized.
Dave Thomas, the doting father who named his burger-and-fries chain after his beloved daughter, never asserted innovation, but the Crispy Chicken Sandwich the company introduced to its menu in 1980, and the Spicy variation it added in 1996, are two of its signature dishes.
